So my cat does not really know how to groom herself or in general, be a cat. When she was a kitten, the original family used pellets so she was not used to covering her poop and would use her claw to paw at the side of the litter box. So after I had taken her to my house (at 4 months) I use pellets and I did try to transition her from pellets to clumping litter. I would notice that after she would poop she would just scrape the side of the litter box (it is hooded) and then come out without ever covering her poop which would make the room smell so much worse. Btw she is an indoor only cat.
Lately, she's been having a semi-solid semi-diarrhea like poop but when she poops... you can hear it. I'm hoping someone can help me so I'll go into more detail. If this grosses you out you may want to stop reading. g this paragraph! So you can hear her poop it's a distinct sound and it just sounds like a juicy/watery fart. It last a couple seconds and you can hear squeezing the last bit.
Getting over that, she also tends to poop frequently. Instead of taking a good dump a couple times a day or so, she'll go poop possibly 3-6 times a day and give little poops. Since her poops are pretty watery (sorry) and she is a Highlander cat (long and fluffy fur) the poop gets stuck to her fur on her bottom. So many times I've wrestled her when she gets a clump of poop in her fur and I have to clean it but I can't always be wiping her butt. I noticed and thought about it though... she does get poop on her fur pretty frequently and she does groom herself it's not as if she has poop on herself the whole day but that means she's consuming her poop. Is there anything I should be worried about that my cat is eating her poop and poops many times a day?
Thank you for bearing with me, I really hope to gain some answers
